A Can of Man
Je suis aware
Hey guys,
A guy told me he was taking up Olympic sharp shooting to form a good base for shooting form and discipline before moving onto bigger calibers. Does anyone know if there is truly real merit to this?
I think it's a pretty good idea but the .22 just doesn't have any recoil that I think that maybe it would be a waste of time and money to go with the .22 when the .223 has enough noise and kick to give a person a good idea of how to get good shooting form. I've seen plenty of people start with .223 and attain excellent form. Basically starting from shorter ranges and working your way out. At 50m, you'll get a good idea of whether or not your form is good or not.
Any inputs?
I just think that shooting a real rifle bullet and shooting a .22 super accurately are simply two different worlds. Heck, I can place a bb bullet through the hole of the last bb bullet at the bb gun's maximum range over and over and over shooting at the rate of about 2 rounds per second or discharge 1 per 4 seconds (roughly) if I have to re-acquire a target the size of a pencil eraser end.
But when it comes to an actual rifle with flight paths, reaction to weather, humidity, elevation... I just think it's very different.
